Abathwali besabelomali base-Asia bavula umngcele omusha ohambweni olude

Ngenkathi abathwali baseYurophu bebhekene nezikhathi ezineziyaluyalu, ezinye izindiza zase-Asia zinethemba lokuthi imodeli yentengo encishisiwe yohambo olude izothola imakethe elungile esigabeni esimaphakathi esikhulayo sase-Asia.

Emhlabeni jikelele, abathwali bezindleko eziphansi bebeyindaba eyimpumelelo yemboni kule minyaka eyishumi edlule, kanti isabelo sabo semakethe sikhuphuke sisuka ku-8% wazo zonke izihlalo ezithengiswe ngo-2001 saya cishe ku-26% kulo nyaka, ngokusho kweCentre for Aviation.

Izinkampani zezindiza zebhajethi ziye zagxila kakhulu emizileni yohambo olufushane ukuya kwemaphakathi, ngempumelelo yazo ekuzuzeni abagibeli ngemali yokugibela ephansi ephoqa abaningi “abathwali befa” abanesevisi ephelele ukuthi basungule ezabo izinketho ezibiza kancane ekuphenduleni.

Imizamo yokusebenzisa imodeli eshibhile ohambweni olude - ikakhulukazi emizileni ye-trans-Atlantic - iye yahluleka kaningi, njengoba kwabonakala ekuweni kweLaker Airways ngo-1982, kanye neZoom Airlines ngo-2008.

Kodwa manje, e-Asia, inani elandayo labasebenzisi seliqala ukunikeza uhambo olude lwendiza ngamanani aphansi, okuvula umngcele omusha emakethe yezindiza enonya.

Isabelomali seSingapore Airlines, iScoot, sizoqala ukusebenza ngokuhamba kwesikhathi kulo nyaka, sijoyine i-AirAsia X yaseMalaysia kanye neJetstar yase-Australia, inkampani engaphansi kwe-Qantas, ekundizeni uhambo olude esifundeni. I-Scoot ihlela ukundizela ezindaweni ezinhlanu e-Australia, Japan nase-China onyakeni wayo wokuqala, ngaphambi kokukhomba eminye imizila. I-Cebu Pacific, inkampani ephethe isabelomali evela ePhilippines, izongena emakethe ngonyaka ozayo ngesevisi yesikhathi eside eqondise i-Filipino Diaspora eMpumalanga Ephakathi futhi iqhubekele phambili.

Isikhulu esiphezulu saseScoot uCampbell Wilson utshele uRichard Quest we-CNN ukuthi imakethe eshibhile ikhula ngokushesha e-Asia. “Eminyakeni eyisishiyagalombili siseSingapore, ayikashintshi yafinyelela ku-25% weChangi (Airport) aphuma kuyo. Kunemakethe engafuni ukuhamba izinto eziwubukhazikhazi futhi efuna ukuya kude.”

U-Wilson uphikile ukuthi i-Scoot izovele idle amakhasimende akhona e-Singapore Airlines, wathi ihloselwe ukunxenxa isisekelo samakhasimende esihlukile, esiqaphela amanani entengo aqondiswe ekuhambeni kokungcebeleka.

“Ngikholwa wukuthi kunemakethe yonke engazicabangeli ngisho ezinye izinkampani zezindiza ngenxa yokuma kwazo emakethe, ngenxa yezindleko zokundiza, nangenxa yezinsimbi namakhwela abangase bangawafuni,” usho kanje.

Kodwa abanye baye bangabaza ukusebenza kwezindleko eziphansi zokuhamba isikhathi eside njengemodeli yebhizinisi. Ukwethulwa kukaScoot kuzoza ngemuva kwezindaba zokuthi i-AirAsia X isiphuma emizileni yayo emide eya e-Europe, ngemuva kweminyaka emithathu indizela eLondon kanye nonyaka owodwa ingena eParis.

Isikhulu se-AirAsia X u-Asran Osman-Rani utshele i-Quest ukuthi lesi sinqumo sibangelwe yizinkinga ezithile ezithinta imakethe yaseYurophu, hhayi ngemodeli ebiza kancane yohambo olude uqobo.

“Lokho ngeshwa yiqiniso lalapho iYurophu ikuphi namuhla,” esho. “Esikubonile engxenyeni yesibili ka-2011 ukuthi isibalo sabantu base-Europe kubagibeli bethu besilokhu sincipha njengoba bekhombisa isimo somnotho. Abantu bebekhathazeke kakhulu ngemisebenzi, futhi uhambo lokungcebeleka luba ngenye yezinto zokuqala ezincishiswayo.”

I-AirAsia X ngemuva kwalokho isimemezele ukuthi izomisa izinkonzo zayo eChristchurch, eNew Zealand, kusukela ekupheleni kukaMeyi - isinqumo esisole ngokunyuka kwezindleko zikaphethiloli wendiza. Kepha u-Osman-Rani uthe inkampani yezindiza ikhombisile ukuthi uhambo olude olubiza kancane lusebenza ezimakethe ezifana neChina ne-Australia.

“Ngicabanga ukuthi akukho lutho olungalungile ngesakhiwo,” kwengeza u-Osman-Rani. "Ngicabanga ukuthi kungasebenza."

U-Andrew Cowen, uzakwethu ophethe weMango Aviation, inkampani eyelulekayo egxile ekuqalweni kwezindiza ezishibhile, uyavuma.

Uthe i-Asia iyimakethe enengqondo yokuthi abathwali besabelomali abahamba isikhathi eside baphumelele, njengokuvela kwemvelo kwezinkampani ezithwala izindiza ezishibhile ezishibhile ezandile esifundeni ngenxa yokuhoxiswa kokulawulwa kwemboni yezindiza.

“Unesigaba esiphakathi esikhulayo nesikhulayo e-Asia, esinomfutho okhulayo nekhono lokuhamba,” kusho uCowen. "Futhi kuyimakethe ekhathalela kakhulu amanani."

Wayengakholwa ukuthi ukuntuleka kwesevisi kanye negumbi lezinyawo elihlinzekwa yizinkampani zezindiza zebhajethi bekuzoba ukucisha okubulalayo kumakhasimende abhekene nendiza yohambo olude yamahora angu-10 - inqobo nje uma imali yokugibela iphansi ngokwanele.

“Akukho ukuzijabulisa? Ungayixazulula ngokuba ne-iPad noma i-PSP yakho. Ukudla kwamahhala kusithwali sefulegi, noma uzithengele wena kusithwali esinezindleko eziphansi? Akuyona inkinga. Iningi lethu lizodla esikhumulweni sezindiza futhi lingathenga okunye uma kunesidingo,” usho kanje. “Ngaphandle kwalokho, esigabeni somnotho kwabaphethe ifulegi alikho ikamelo elikhulu lokuqala.”

UCowen wengeze ngokuthi abathwali bezindleko eziphansi bangapakisha izihlalo zabagibeli ezifika ku-25% endizeni yabo, futhi babe “nenzuzo enkulu” yokungabhekane nezindleko ezinkulu zengqalasizinda ezithwalwa abathwali befa, ababephoqeleka ukuthi bangene endaweni ephansi. -cost sector ngokwabo. “Babonile ukuthi uma bengakwenzi lokho bazolahlekelwa yimakethe,” usho kanje.

Ukudliwa kwabantu akumele kube yinkinga, ngokusho kukaCowen. Impumelelo yenkampani ephethe isabelomali efana ne-Jetstar ekusebenzeni eduze nozakwabo osebenza ngokugcwele u-Qantas ikhombisa ukuthi le mikhiqizo yomibili ingasebenzisana kanjani ukuze ihlinzeke ngezigaba ezihlukene zemakethe ngaphandle kokuzingela amakhasimende omunye komunye. “Sonke asiyihambisi iMercedes Benz futhi asiyishayeli iVolkswagen Golf,” usho kanje.

Ubikezele ukuthi abathwali besabelomali abane base-Asia abadonsa isikhathi eside bazophumelela emakethe. Futhi, esibikezelweni esingase samukelwe abahambi emhlabeni wonke, uthe ezinye izinkampani ezithwala izimoto ezishibhile, ezidonsa isikhathi eside kungenzeka zilandele e-Asia, nakwezinye izifunda lapho izimo zemakethe zilungile.

“Ngicabanga ukuthi sizobona amahall amaningi abiza kancane efika emakethe,” kusho yena. "Indaba yesikhathi kuphela."
